"Late backers" get the same items as backers the day the Kickstarter opened. People that want to get in after backing closed completely, those are no longer "late backers", they're folks that will have to wait for retail. The window was May 2015 to May 2018.

The only thing possible I can think now for someone that wants the Kickstarter backer items is...so, the people who did/are refunding their pledges for various reasons, you could see if you could somehow work out a deal with one of them to send theirs to you?

That's pretty iffy, I wouldn't personally do it (or maybe I would try if I missed this lol), but aside from otherwise eBay that's about all there is. Problem with that too is, I think those people are much more likely to just cancel out of spite of taking the sale away itself than so much trying to get it to someone that wants it, even if they'd make more than their money back lol. Come to think of it, I mean...that's way more logical to just sell it but yeah, some folks are very principle based with that kind of thing.

if it makes you feel any better I'm having doubts on how valuable the backer exclusive content is going to be anyway.the backer content is not going to be on the physical copies, backers get the exact same physical copy as everyone else just with a code to put in to get the exclusive content.I don't know exactly how Iga is going to handle that for Bloodstained, but I remember importing the physical Japanese version of Gal Gun 2 awhile back which did something similar, same physical version as everyone else but with a code to get an exclusive costume, unlike the costumes you buy as DLC though it's a one time input code that does not get attached to your account, instead it gets attached to the Switch unit itself so that when the day comes my Switch breaks, gets stolen or I upgrade to the next gen or something that content cannot be brought back, it will just be gone forever unlike the physical cartridge or even the DLC I've bought for it that got attached to my account. Bloodstained sounds likely to do the same plus there's tons of talk about about putting most if not all of that content on the basic edition anyway, still wondering on how that talk is going, hope an update clarifies soon

Aztec: I don’t visit the Discord but I want to ask if we have any confirmation about the Ayami Kojima box art and the backer exclusive slip cover coming with my physical game day and date or is that coming also later? I realize the design is secret but when?May 24, 2019 17:34:35 GMT -6

Aztec: Also we’re supposed to get another update next Thursday, yes?May 24, 2019 17:35:04 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: The Discord has been a mad house since yesterday, with random folks giving incorrect answers to things, so I'll just tell you here: the slipcase yes, but the Kojima stuff no.May 24, 2019 17:48:12 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: It's been a while since I heard that specifically asked about and its answer so I'm not 100% sure on the slipcase, but definitely the Kojima art is in a later shipment with the other rewards.May 24, 2019 17:48:38 GMT -6

Galamoth: Though we are still getting another update next Thursday, right?May 24, 2019 19:32:12 GMT -6

Arsenical: *drinks * the game i have been waiting for such a long time is only a few weeks away from me. i am so excited. im sure other peoples here share that excitement so lets read the new threads. . . . . . . oh.May 24, 2019 21:14:53 GMT -6

Arsenical: meh! who cares! i will still enjoy the shiz out of this game and my name will be on the credits. not only that but now i will be able to enjoy full content even if i lose my backer edition so yeah either way i win. *drinks more *May 24, 2019 21:19:43 GMT -6

Arsenical: but am i the only one who thinks that the idea of the steelcases was terrible? why get 3rd party items involved in your project? people is greedy and will whine about it if they dont get it for free! or did i miss something here?May 24, 2019 21:22:37 GMT -6

roguedragon05: Does anyone know if Bloodstained will be at E3 at all this year?May 24, 2019 21:58:44 GMT -6

Aztec: Thanks @purifyweirdshard for the answers. I’m bummed about no Kojima art. That would’ve made for some excellent PR before the game came out. I wish they could show it off even if they physical prints were shipping later but oh wellMay 24, 2019 23:57:01 GMT -6
